Hi. I am Annie Cockcroft. I am originally from Salt Lake City, Utah, but now claim Oak Ridge, North Carolina as home. My husband Layne and I have three young children. I majored in Family History and have always been enamored by the stories that come from ordinary lives.

Although I may be the one behind the scenes finding stories, editing, and posting, I believe that this blog belongs to everyone. Each individual story that is posted contributes to the message and spirit of this website. Thus, rather than reading my words, I hope you see this as a collection of resources, stories, and inspiration ultimately meant to help others find their own reason to hope.
